Erroneous Belief

Often times, we think that communication is simple. We always failed to notice the things that we must consider in communicating. We should not just talk. We should not just share. We should not just express. We should also consider things in order to have an effective communication. We may think that it is simple but if we look more closely to it, it is kind of complicated.

There are many misconceptions in communication. I think the most common is that the thought that if we communicate with others, it will be understood. We are definitely wrong. Not all people can interpret the meanings behind your words. Because, it depends on how it was delivered by the messenger. Often times, it leads to misunderstandings. Other is that the thought that if we communicate with others, our problem would be solve. Yes it’s true that we must discuss our problems to someone to get advice but at the end of the day, it is you who can really solve your own problems. It is your decision on how to make a way to solve it. And lastly, the thought that communication is innate ability. One can communicate easily with others but to be able to understand and to be understood needs communication skills and that skills can be learned through practice in order to have an effective communication.

Communication seems to be simple yet so complicated. We must not take this for granted because it is very essential in our lives. We must study it so that we could have a better understanding about it and so that we could clearly communicate to others.
